OBJECTIVES

The workshop will provide a forum for researchers and practitioners
who develop and use innovative work environments by making use of
recent advances in information and communication technology, new
concepts in work organization, and a comprehensive perspective on
office building design.
Attention will be focussed on ways and means to enable and support
flexible forms of communication and collaboration for a variety of
groups ranging from small local teams to large distributed organizations,
utilizing a seamless integration of physical and digital objects,
of real work spaces and virtual information spaces embedded in
real architectural environments.
